Participants are coming from all continents and for the first edition (Summer 2019), the number of teams is limited to 150.

The race facts by the numbers certainly do not pale in comparison with the now celebrated international races that started the movement of MTB Stage races such as the TransAlp (eastern Alps), TransRockies (Canada) and Cape Epic (South Africa). The distance to tackle is over 500km with an elevation gain of about 20,000 m.

Women teams can take advantage of the W Special with a very friendly registration fee (E 1.900).
